Coaching Stories.

Dear Friend,

John McKenna auditioned as a speaker for our annual company convention.  We had three positions open for a motivational speaker, a marketing trainer, and someone to create and lead a personal development seminar for our practitioners. We were so impressed by his audition that we gave him all three speaking positions at the convention and then sent him on the road with a seminar he designed for us called ”The Journey to Self Mastery”.   


In the year that followed we experienced severe challenges, we went through two presidents and the founder of the company died. We almost went broke when the second president squandered huge amounts of money and made some tactical errors.  John came in off the road, rolled up his sleeves and worked to turn the company around.

With John’s help as trainer and in house consultant we completely turned around within the year, became profitable and back on track with high morale, great sales and lower overhead. "He single-handedly seemed to turn our Company  around" 

During this time John was an excellent mentor to me, (Vice President Sales and Marketing) the C.E.O Lee Wooley, and the C.O.O of the company.

He implemented a peak performance meritocracy that produced record-breaking sales and eventually a much more peaceful environment which was a huge accomplishment because morale had been at an all time low and the rumor mill was vicious and out of control. 

His work with our company was so transformational that John was asked to sit on the board of directors and was later offered the presidency of the company (which he declined.) He felt that his work was better done behind the scenes and the current C.O.O. needed to be the president. 

I can say without a doubt that John is an excellent coach and mentor and his seminars are unique, entertaining and transformational. He is a very dedicated speaker and trainer and he has some great ideas. If you want to talk to ask  John for my phone number I am proud to recommend him.  

Sincerely,
Joda Rolfes

My business was failing, I was at the end of my rope financially and I couldn't see a way out. John took me on a camping trip and out of the stress, Then he outlined for me a simple solution that I could never have seen by myself.

I went home with a new hope and a positive attitude that I hadn't had in years. I implemented the strategies, got out from under the debt and it was the first year we reached the $300,000.00 mark in our once troubled business. I would heartily recommend John McKenna's services to anyone who needs to re-vitalize their business.

That was Gary Morris' story and it is interesting. Gary is the happy  guy on the far right. Bob is in the middle and I'm on the left. Remind me to tell you what I did for Bob's finances on this trip.

Anyway...Gary was so convinced he had a problem that I had to get him outside the box a little. He hated his life and his business was dragging him down, so on our camping trip I outlined for him the easy way to systematize and sell his business.

Because we were in this beautiful environment he could really taste the freedom and the peace of getting free. When he got home he couldn't wait to have that experience of freedom for the rest of his life so he got to work and did what I suggested.

Within a month he had an offer on his business. This was great news, but because the business had now been systematized, it was no longer a burden to run and it now was very valuable to him.

So Gary happily kept the business, and appreciated it as never before, while having the best year they ever had financially. Bob went on to receive an extra $600.00 a month in residuals for the next 3 years. Extra.

Maybe your business needs a lift. There are certain simple marketing ideas that can triple your profits without having you work harder. There is a way of thinking outside the box and that's what mentoring gives you.

John gave a seminar to the senior management of AT&T's Learning and Development team while I was Executive Director.

Our team was going through some significant and stressful changes during a time of industry upheaval, regular layoffs and the impending merger with Comcast.

While most of the training team was very skeptical about attending some "touchy feel new age" event, everyone was pleasantly surprised to find John's content and delivery so professional and directly targeted at our situation and needs.

Our team rated the event a 9.8 our of 10 and we incorporated much of what we learned into regular strategies that helped us improve our thinking, decision making and overall results.

I am now working to bring John into a similar event for Time Warner. Where I am now head of training.

Sean Kearney,

"When John McKenna introduced me to his nutrition program, I just felt lousy." 

My intestinal function was all messed up, which left me feeling very uncomfortable and tired.  I wasn’t sleeping well.  My concentration and eyesight were giving me problems at work.  I was sixty pounds overweight.  I felt that my life was out of control in many ways. 

John gently coached me through those first weeks of his program, and I felt the results!  Within the first 24 hours, my digestive system had corrected itself.  I expected results, but not that quickly! 

I soon met with others who were following John’s method, and I knew I had found friendship with caring people, people who would mentor and support me so I could share this with others, too.   

After about a month, I realized I was accomplishing much more at work.  I have a job that entails a lot of variety and constant juggling of priorities.  I had previously had a difficult time sticking to any one project to see it to completion, and I had to put in extra hours to finish month-end work on time.  Now, I was getting it all done, feeling really great about work, and leaving at five everyday, knowing I had taken control of my day in an efficient manner. 

Without specifically trying to, I have nearly stopped eating sweets, and I’ve lost more than twenty pounds so far.  Reaching for healthy foods seems to be automatic these days.  I know I will reach my goal weight while obtaining better and better health at the same time.  I have more energy now, and I am sleeping soundly and waking refreshed. 

Thanks, John McKenna!  I’ve got my life back, and I love sharing my success with other people!  I would enjoy hearing from you.
